48-206 RESTORATION, NEED HELP
#1

I am restoring a 48-206 leatherette I could not find the schematic so I used a 49-500 which seems identical to the chassis except for a couple bypass cap sizes, anyway, all caps, o.o.t. resistors were replaced. The radio reception is great for the first few minuts but hums like a bad filter, then the hum goes away but the reception gets weak and very distorted at the same time. the original filter calls for 30/25/20 I used 33/30/22 the voltage across the filters call for 115v/105v/90v to B- mine tests at 115v/90v/75v to B-. what would cause this voltage drop after it operates for about 5 min. All resistors and caps have been checked, filter caps have been substituted, feild coil is ok, tubes check ok and have been substituted with known tubes nothing helps. I have restored many AA5s with this same or similar chassis with no problems but Im lost on this unit and would appriciate any input or suggestions.
Thanks, Todd

Dan Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response. morzh — 07:15 PM
